I am honestly very pleased with what I received. I was really iffy about "wasting" my money on a really expensive bag, since I didn't really know what to expect just by looking at the few images amazon displays on the page. I heavily relied on the customer reviews and photos people posted (thank you, by the way) in order to make up my mind on whether or not I should buy it, or which color I should even buy. Suffice to say, This bag is very durable and looks much more visually appealing than i expected. With the red stripes in the interior, (which i originally thought was a turn off) it really compliments the black exterior of the bag, and the straps look very durable (not tacky at ALL) . The size measurements are very accurate and you can use my photos as proof. Although it is quite big on a 5'2" girl such as myself, it is able to 3 text books, a binder and a winter coat in it, with MUCH more extra space. Also, the back has very soft padding, on the arm straps as well, so it is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, even if you are carrying a heavy load. There are two mini pockets in the sides of the interior to store small items, such as a phone, sunglasses, ect. In addition to the fur-lined laptop pocket, which can safely hold my 15 inch Macbook Pro. The front pocket is just a pocket, with a little key chain holder to hold maybe hand sanitizer or keys. However, the only con i should point out is that there aren't enough pockets. The front pocket is just a large pocket with no other mini-pockets inside, so this bag is highly recommended for people who don't carry many small items with them, or know how to use a purse or pencil case. I know the feel, being hesitant to order this bag since there weren't many details specified in the page that would've be helpful to know, or believing that the specs aren't reliable. So to ease your discomforts, I added photos that i took right when it got out of the box, including the measurements. Honestly, just buy it, it is definitely worth it.

I went to ZOOMIEZ to check out this backpack before I made the purchase and decided to buy it on amazon to save a few bucks since the gray colorway was $40 off the $99 retail price with Prime! Right off the back when I received it, something was off, it just didn’t feel right. I thought I was maybe overthinking after reading some reviews of people getting fakes but things were off from what I remember checking out in store and the quality wasn’t there at all. I decided to pick up the Black Grid colorway at Nordstrom and my suspicions were correct, I got a FAKE! The difference in quality is night and day, things are completely different on the gray colorway that I received from Amazon than the one purchased in store. On the gray one, the label was sketchy, the lining on the hood was different, the cut out for the headphone pass through wasn’t there, the padding on shoulder straps and back were too thin, and most of the stitching was done very poorly. Check out the pictures that I have attached, you can see it clear as day. Buyers beware! Don’t risk getting a fake just to save a few bucks like me. I now have peace of mind and am happy with my purchase at Nordstrom.

After seeing hundreds of positive reviews for this bag, it was an easy decision for me to choose it. It was stylish, functional, and overall a great price.

With that said, I only got to experience using my bag once because by the end of my trip, my bag was essentially in pieces. I used this bag for a work trip to Italy to carry my laptop and charger, some noise canceling headphones, snacks, and a scarf for when it was cold. All in all, my backpack was pretty full, but by no means weighed an extraordinary amount. At no point did the contents of my bag exceed 15lbs.

See from the pictures, my bag was falling apart. First, the material near the draw string ripped and frayed the first day. Next, I noticed the grommet had become unattached to the material, and the material began ripping there as well. At one point I was in a rush to leave, and picked up my bag quickly with one strap, and the strap nearly tore off. Finally, by the end of the trip, the laptop padding was coming out of the stitching.

If this is the quality of their product, I couldn't possibly recommend it. It can't take any abuse and has zero durability. My hope is that I had a defective product, and I am one of very few that didn't enjoy this product's full potential.

Best backpack ever ! I bought this for my trip to Greece. We planned to take short 2-4 day trips around the country and I wanted something functional and stylish to carry. This backpack fit my toiletries, makeup, clothes and shoes for 4 days of travel and for a chronic over packer (me) and semi high maintenance person I was very impressed.

Surprised my daughter with this backpack for her second semester Law school. First semester completely wore out the one she carried. She was so excited. Says "how did you know everyone carries this kind?" Well, I didn't, just got lucky I guess. First day of second semester she's running with the big dogs now. Very well constructed. Love the color and the magnets on the straps. Glad they really aren't buckle closures. Big enough for all the books she has to pack around. I'm thinking this one will last well into next semester or longer. Will update when we get there.

I see a lot of people having Herschel bags these days so I decided to try this model. One of the best purchases I've made. The bag is pretty lightweight but also very durable. I love the subtle color and shape of the bag. It doesn't scream for attention while staying stylish and practical. I use it everyday for college. I don't have a lot of books but it can easily carry a good amount of weight. Pretty big bag, plenty of room for big textbooks and has a nice compartment for your laptop. There's even little side compartments in the bag to hold your pens/pencils. The cushioning on the back is super comfortable. Most backpacks would leave your shoulders or back strained but this bag is as comfortable as it gets. The straps are easily adjustable. Great style and practicality. It's definitely worth the money as I can see myself using this bag for years to come. Would recommend to others.
